After Action Report
The Rockets squeaked past the Lakers 105-104. Rockets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets locker room is humming, and it showed. Rockets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
